Poison Arrow Crossbow
Weapon · WeaponCrossbow2★A Crossbow whose bolts leave the target poisoned, and a poisoned Pal goes into a sphere more readily. Runs on Poison Arrow.
Poison Arrow Crossbow is 9th of 15 crossbows by attack, at 406 against the 490 of Crossbow.
It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.
Details
At 13 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. It sells for almost nothing, so do not bother hauling it to a shop.

Where to Find Poison Arrow Crossbow
Poison Arrow Crossbow is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Poison Arrow Crossbow
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 280 to 490, a 1.8x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.

| 0★ | Poison Arrow Crossbow | 280 | 300 |
| 1★ | Poison Arrow Crossbow | 364 | 800 |

| 4★ | Poison Arrow Crossbow | 490 | 1400 |

Schematics That Unlock Poison Arrow Crossbow
Poison Arrow Crossbow is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |

Alternatives and Upgrades
Fire Arrow Crossbow matches it exactly at 406 attack — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw attack, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Poison Arrow Crossbow at 448; below it is Crossbow at 364.
